Not in any of the trades, but I am a superintendent. I do only healthcare, which is very challenging. And since the building that I am on right now is new and not yet enclosed, I froze my *** of this winter. Looking forward to the warmer weather.

I've been around the trade my whole life and the job I started last week is the first one I've ever been on where the HVAC contractor is responsible for installing the chase pipes for refrigerant lines and drain lines for P-TAC's (package unites in hotels) before the floor is poured.

I did some insulation on a new hospital in Richmond Indiana for a little bit, and they kept that place cold as hell. I'd go into work in August wearing a Carhartt coat and some gloves.
